It could be the pump or if the stall is to high & slipping to much that could be the problem as well.

How is the dipstick calibrated?
There is only one way to know if it's correct.

It could be a problem with the pump.

Take a look at your pump to make sure that there is a small bracket to direct oil away from the vent bolted on the back side. It will be located in the same area that the vent is located but bolted to the pump. If that makes sense.

Also when you had the trans apart did you replace the pump to case gasket? I would make sure that you have a good seal here and also that the gasket is in the correct location. Just a thought. Vince
